She'd rather be scolded than ignored, which leads to some deliberate brattiness.Pet-Peeves:Wet feet, claw-clips, ear medication, baths.Favorite Toy:Anything that squeaks.Favorite Food:Anything she can get into her mouth.Favorite Walk:Josie does not walk,. She prances, struts, and gallops.Best Tricks:She made the front page of Cute Overload!Arrival Story:Josie was found as a stray in an empty stretch of road in Sarasota. She weighed less than ten pounds, had her milk teeth, couldn't have been older than three months. There were no people, no dogs, no houses nearby. Fortunately, the man who saw her stopped and took her home. I was reeling from the loss of Logan when I saw Josie's baby photo on my FB page: Josie's rescuers had asked their trainer to share the photo around, and a friend of mine had sent her dog to that same trainer. I don't know why my friend shared the photograph, but her doing so led to me having this wonderful dog.
I had a horrible time thinking of names, but then I noticed that she quite strongly resembles my friend's dog Curly Joe; Josie seemed a good female version of that.Bio:Since Josie was found as a stray, we know nothing about her origins or the first two(ish) months of her life. I can only guess at her breed mix, though I think it will become clearer as she grows.
We will be looking into PTSD service dog training for Josie as she grows, so that she can help manage my illness.Forums Motto:Little ButtI've Been On Dogster Since:
